Environmental Impact Analysis – Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Modeling

The contract involves conducting regional transportation-related air quality and greenhouse gas emissions modeling using industry-standard tools such as EMFAC and CAAERFA to assess the environmental impact of transportation plans and projects. The work will focus on generating accurate emissions estimates to support compliance with state and federal environmental regulations, particularly in the context of California’s air quality and climate goals. The contractor will be responsible for analyzing vehicle miles traveled trends and developing data-driven strategies to reduce VMT, including the design and evaluation of mitigation measures aimed at lowering emissions from the transportation sector. This subcontract is positioned under NAICS code 541620, indicating it is for environmental consulting services, and is managed by the San Joaquin County Council of Governments in California. The work is tied to broader regional planning efforts and is intended to inform transportation decisions with actionable environmental data. The project supports the development of mitigation plans that align with state mandates for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality, requiring technical expertise in emissions modeling, spatial analysis, and policy-relevant reporting. All deliverables will be used to advance regional sustainability goals and ensure that transportation infrastructure projects meet environmental review standards.
